I looked up an article at hopkinsmedicine.org entitled Treating Colon Cancer That Has Spread to the Liver; A Team Approach that makes it sound like you have lots of options! Has he thought about having his colon removed? Pretty serious step but loads better than what the oncologist was saying. Is he doing ok with Y90 side effects today.

The first Y90 on left liver lobe was kind of rough but afterwards went okay. Prior to that he had a celiac plexus block four days ago he had the Y90 right liver lobe and it went really well. Cea was at 200 and yesterday labs showed it at 187 cea. Other Labs were great.
Yesterday started cycle 2 of Lonsurf 55mg morning and same evening for five days off 2 then on five off for several weeks.
However he had a fat fecal test and it was abnormal so we are seeing a GI doctor in three weeks. He needs to gain weight but fecal qualitative being abnormal means he is loosing nutrients any thoughts about diet to improve nutrients and retain them? Bowel movement improving slowly, appetite is good but not eating all of the food. Any suggestions will be of help.
